protocol.</p>
<p>This class provides a direct interface to HTTP that allows you
to download and upload data with the HTTP protocol. However, for
new applications, it is recommended to use <a href="qnetworkaccessmanager.html">QNetworkAccessManager</a> and <a href="qnetworkreply.html">QNetworkReply</a>, as those classes possess a
simpler, yet more powerful API and a more modern protocol
implementation.</p>
<p>The class works asynchronously, so there are no blocking
functions. If an operation cannot be executed immediately, the
function will still return straight away and the operation will be
scheduled for later execution. The results of scheduled operations
are reported via signals. This approach depends on the event loop
being in operation.</p>
<p>The operations that can be scheduled (they are called "requests"
in the rest of the documentation) are the following: <a href="qhttp.html#setHost">setHost</a>(), <a href="qhttp.html#get">get</a>(), <a href="qhttp.html#post">post</a>(),
<a href="qhttp.html#head">head</a>() and <a href="qhttp.html#request">request</a>().</p>
<p>All of these requests return a unique identifier that allows you
to keep track of the request that is currently executed. When the
execution of a request starts, the <a href="qhttp.html#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>() signal with the
identifier is emitted and when the request is finished, the
<a href="qhttp.html#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>() signal
is emitted with the identifier and a bool that indicates if the
request finished with an error.</p>
<p>To make an HTTP request you must set up suitable HTTP headers.
The following example demonstrates how to request the main HTML
page from the Qt website (i.e., the URL
<tt>http://qt.nokia.com/index.html</tt>):</p>
<pre class="cpp">
 <span class="type"><a href="qhttprequestheader.html">QHttpRequestHeader</a></span> header(<span class="string">"GET"</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="type"><a href="qurl.html">QUrl</a></span><span class="operator">.</span>toPercentEncoding(<span class="string">"/index.html"</span>));
 header<span class="operator">.</span>setValue(<span class="string">"Host"</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="string">"qt.nokia.com"</span>);
 http<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span><a href="qhttp.html#setHost">setHost</a>(<span class="string">"qt.nokia.com"</span>);
 http<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span><a href="qhttp.html#request">request</a>(header);
</pre>
<p>For the common HTTP requests <tt>GET</tt>, <tt>POST</tt> and
<tt>HEAD</tt>, QHttp provides the convenience functions <a href="qhttp.html#get">get</a>(), <a href="qhttp.html#post">post</a>()
and <a href="qhttp.html#head">head</a>(). They already use a
reasonable header and if you don't have to set special header
fields, they are easier to use. The above example can also be
written as:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
 http<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span><a href="qhttp.html#setHost">setHost</a>(<span class="string">"qt.nokia.com"</span>);                <span class="comment">// id == 1</span>
 http<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span><a href="qhttp.html#get">get</a>(<span class="type"><a href="qurl.html">QUrl</a></span><span class="operator">.</span>toPercentEncoding(<span class="string">"/index.html"</span>)); <span class="comment">// id == 2</span>
</pre>
<p>For this example the following sequence of signals is emitted
(with small variations, depending on network traffic, etc.):</p>
<pre class="cpp">
 <a href="qhttp.html#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>(<span class="number">1</span>)
 <a href="qhttp.html#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>(<span class="number">1</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">false</span>)

 <a href="qhttp.html#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>(<span class="number">2</span>)
 <a href="qhttp.html#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>(Connecting)
 <a href="qhttp.html#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>(Sending)
 <a href="qhttp.html#dataSendProgress">dataSendProgress</a>(<span class="number">77</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">77</span>)
 <a href="qhttp.html#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>(Reading)
 <a href="qhttp.html#responseHeaderReceived">responseHeaderReceived</a>(responseheader)
 <a href="qhttp.html#dataReadProgress">dataReadProgress</a>(<span class="number">5388</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">0</span>)
 <a href="qhttp.html#readyRead">readyRead</a>(responseheader)
 <a href="qhttp.html#dataReadProgress">dataReadProgress</a>(<span class="number">18300</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">0</span>)
 <a href="qhttp.html#readyRead">readyRead</a>(responseheader)
 <a href="qhttp.html#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>(Connected)
 <a href="qhttp.html#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>(<span class="number">2</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">false</span>)

 <a href="qhttp.html#done">done</a>(<span class="keyword">false</span>)

 <a href="qhttp.html#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>(Closing)
 <a href="qhttp.html#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>(Unconnected)
</pre>
<p>The <a href="qhttp.html#dataSendProgress">dataSendProgress</a>()
and <a href="qhttp.html#dataReadProgress">dataReadProgress</a>()
signals in the above example are useful if you want to show a
<a href="qprogressbar.html">progress bar</a> to inform the user
about the progress of the download. The second argument is the
total size of data. In certain cases it is not possible to know the
total amount in advance, in which case the second argument is 0.
(If you connect to a <a href="qprogressbar.html">QProgressBar</a> a
total of 0 results in a busy indicator.)</p>
<p>When the response header is read, it is reported with the
<a href="qhttp.html#responseHeaderReceived">responseHeaderReceived</a>()
signal.</p>
<p>The <a href="qhttp.html#readyRead">readyRead</a>() signal tells
you that there is data ready to be read. The amount of data can
then be queried with the <a href="qhttp.html#bytesAvailable">bytesAvailable</a>() function and it
can be read with the <a href="qhttp.html#read">read</a>() or
<a href="qhttp.html#readAll">readAll</a>() functions.</p>
<p>If an error occurs during the execution of one of the commands
in a sequence of commands, all the pending commands (i.e.
scheduled, but not yet executed commands) are cleared and no
signals are emitted for them.</p>
<p>For example, if you have the following sequence of requests</p>
<pre class="cpp">
 http<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span><a href="qhttp.html#setHost">setHost</a>(<span class="string">"www.foo.bar"</span>);       <span class="comment">// id == 1</span>
 http<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span><a href="qhttp.html#get">get</a>(<span class="string">"/index.html"</span>);           <span class="comment">// id == 2</span>
 http<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span><a href="qhttp.html#post">post</a>(<span class="string">"register.html"</span><span class="operator">,</span> data);  <span class="comment">// id == 3</span>
</pre>
<p>and the <a href="qhttp.html#get">get</a>() request fails because
the host lookup fails, then the <a href="qhttp.html#post">post</a>() request is never executed and the
signals would look like this:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
 <a href="qhttp.html#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>(<span class="number">1</span>)
 <a href="qhttp.html#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>(<span class="number">1</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">false</span>)

 <a href="qhttp.html#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>(<span class="number">2</span>)
 <a href="qhttp.html#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>(HostLookup)
 <a href="qhttp.html#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>(<span class="number">2</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">true</span>)

 <a href="qhttp.html#done">done</a>(<span class="keyword">true</span>)

 <a href="qhttp.html#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>(Unconnected)
</pre>
<p>You can then get details about the error with the <a href="qhttp.html#error">error</a>() and <a href="qhttp.html#errorString">errorString</a>() functions. Note that
only unexpected behavior, like network failure is considered as an
error. If the server response contains an error status, like a 404
response, this is reported as a normal response case. So you should
always check the <a href="qhttpresponseheader.html#statusCode">status code</a> of the
response header.</p>
<p>The functions <a href="qhttp.html#currentId">currentId</a>() and
<a href="qhttp.html#currentRequest">currentRequest</a>() provide
more information about the currently executing request.</p>
<p>The functions <a href="qhttp.html#hasPendingRequests">hasPendingRequests</a>() and
<a href="qhttp.html#clearPendingRequests">clearPendingRequests</a>() allow
you to query and clear the list of pending requests.</p>

<hr /><h2>Qt Signal Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="authenticationRequired" />void authenticationRequired (const QString&amp;,quint16,QAuthenticator *)</h3><p>This is the default overload of this signal.</p><p>This signal can be emitted when a web server on a given
<i>hostname</i> and <i>port</i> requires authentication. The
<i>authenticator</i> object can then be filled in with the required
details to allow authentication and continue the connection.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> It is not possible to use a QueuedConnection to
connect to this signal, as the connection will fail if the
authenticator has not been filled in with new information when the
signal returns.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="dataReadProgress" />void dataReadProgress (int,int)</h3><p>This is the default overload of this signal.</p><p>This signal is emitted when this object reads data from a HTTP
server to indicate the current progress of the download.</p>
<p><i>done</i> is the amount of data that has already arrived and
<i>total</i> is the total amount of data. It is possible that the
total amount of data that should be transferred cannot be
determined, in which case <i>total</i> is 0.(If you connect to a
<a href="qprogressbar.html">QProgressBar</a>, the progress bar
shows a busy indicator if the total is 0).</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> <i>done</i> and <i>total</i> are not necessarily
the size in bytes, since for large files these values might need to
be "scaled" to avoid overflow.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="dataSendProgress" />void dataSendProgress (int,int)</h3><p>This is the default overload of this signal.</p><p>This signal is emitted when this object sends data to a HTTP
server to inform it about the progress of the upload.</p>
<p><i>done</i> is the amount of data that has already arrived and
<i>total</i> is the total amount of data. It is possible that the
total amount of data that should be transferred cannot be
determined, in which case <i>total</i> is 0.(If you connect to a

<h3 class="fn"><a name="done" />void done (bool)</h3><p>This is the default overload of this signal.</p><p>This signal is emitted when the last pending request has
finished; (it is emitted after the last request's <a href="qhttp.html#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>() signal).
<i>error</i> is true if an error occurred during the processing;
otherwise <i>error</i> is false.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="proxyAuthenticationRequired" />void proxyAuthenticationRequired (const QNetworkProxy&amp;,QAuthenticator *)</h3><p>This is the default overload of this signal.</p><p>This signal can be emitted when a <i>proxy</i> that requires
authentication is used. The <i>authenticator</i> object can then be
filled in with the required details to allow authentication and
continue the connection.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> It is not possible to use a QueuedConnection to

<h3 class="fn"><a name="readyRead" />void readyRead (const QHttpResponseHeader&amp;)</h3><p>This is the default overload of this signal.</p><p>This signal is emitted when there is new response data to
read.</p>
<p>If you specified a device in the request where the data should
be written to, then this signal is <i>not</i> emitted; instead the
data is written directly to the device.</p>
<p>The response header is passed in <i>resp</i>.</p>
<p>You can read the data with the <a href="qhttp.html#readAll">readAll</a>() or <a href="qhttp.html#read">read</a>() functions</p>
<p>This signal is useful if you want to process the data in chunks
as soon as it becomes available. If you are only interested in the
complete data, just connect to the <a href="qhttp.html#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>() signal and read
the data then instead.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="sslErrors" />void sslErrors (const QList&lt;QSslError&gt;&amp;)</h3><p>This is the default overload of this signal.</p><p>Forwards the sslErrors signal from the <a href="qsslsocket.html">QSslSocket</a> used in <a class="obsolete" href="qhttp.html">QHttp</a>. <i>errors</i> is the list of errors
that occurred during the SSL handshake. Unless you call <a href="qhttp.html#ignoreSslErrors">ignoreSslErrors</a>() from within a
slot connected to this signal when an error occurs, <a class="obsolete" href="qhttp.html">QHttp</a> will tear down the
connection immediately after emitting the signal.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.</p>

<a href="qsslsocket.html#ignoreSslErrors">QSslSocket.ignoreSslErrors</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="stateChanged" />void stateChanged (int)</h3><p>This is the default overload of this signal.</p><p>This signal is emitted when the state of the <a class="obsolete" href="qhttp.html">QHttp</a> object changes. The
argument <i>state</i> is the new state of the connection; it is one
of the <a href="qhttp.html#State-enum">State</a> values.</p>
<p>This usually happens when a request is started, but it can also
happen when the server closes the connection or when a call to
<a href="qhttp.html#close">close</a>() succeeded.</p>
